It has been ages since my last post!  I actually made this cake back in February but I have been very lazy in sharing it with you!

This was an order from a friend for a Ladybug Cake for their daughter’s 2nd Birthday.  They were havinig a Ladybug themed party.  I had quite a bit of notice for this cake, so I had a while to plan what I would do.  I baked the two marble mud cakes in Pyrex bowls – one large for the body and one small for the head.  I also ganached and covered them with fondant separately.  If I had to make a Ladybug cake again, I would probably ganache and join the cakes together first and then cover them with fondant.  It’s all a learning experience though!  Although there were things that I wasn’t happy with, I was quite happy with the cake, and from the feedback I received, they were too!

A couple of days before the order was due they asked me if I would be able to make some matching ladybug cookies.  It was a late night getting the cake and cookies finished, but with the help of my husband, we got there!  The cookies are a bit too messy for my liking, but I ran out of time !
